    Then eliminate food stamps and all social welfare programs. What do you think this country will look like? What country does this?

    You really do have memory issues. Punctuation isn't grammar. Don't you ever get tired of making a fool out of yourself.

    I didn't say that at all, I understand the need for such programs but the abuse is unacceptable.

    And who do you blame for this abuse? Did bush and the republicans clean it up when they were in power? How about Trump?

    Government is who I blame, lack of over sight, ease of getting into the system and enforcement. Both sides. Trump has been in office 10 minutes give me a break.

    The Ravens just knelt before the anthem (a la the Cowboys last week) and received a huge chorus of boos for doing so.

    It's science, not semantics. But if you think that Science is not the forte of Prof. Cavali-Sportza, the father of genetic anthropology, which found that "races" do not exist, then it's your problem.

    No, in this case you are ignoring semantics. AS I SAID BEFORE, race is an outdated scientific concept.

    Insist all you want, but a consistent common USEAGE over always expands/alters word definitions. IN the case of the words race and racism I have already explained how their meanings have morphed thru use.

    BTW, I violently agree that race is an artificial social construct. I've believed that for the past 40 years or so, since the science proved it.

    Sorry, I didnt know that you knew what punctuation is since you have yet to use it correctly.

    lol...at least you used real words that time. You forgot your question mark again. Is your puncuation wrong or was it just bad grammar annd not really a question?

    You accuse me of horrid abuses of the english language while at the same time using the word cant incorrectly. Cant and can't have different meanings. You were looking for the contraction einstein. Glass house much?

    Perhaps you would care to count the number of mistakes in your post. Oh, and you forgot to apologize for lying in post #882.

    Sorry Im not the grammar nazi here. Its about the context. You however are open to review since you are the one calling attention to it. Youve made more mistakes in one post than most of us do on our cells.
    Also, Ive lied about nothing. I thought accusing people of lies was bannable here at PF. Have the rules changed?

    So what term would you use to explain the behavior of groups like the KKK or Nazi Germany if not racism?

    So what term would you like me to use when you make a knowingly false statement such as the following?

    " yes and if you remember I asked you if "what do we want? dead cops! fry em like bacon" is hate speech. You dodged because you know it is and you know these kneelers support that hate spewing filth."

    Prevarication, deliberate falsehood, or willful deception come to mind. Pick one and I will happily use it when you lie in the future.

    I am supposed to ask a mod what term I should use when you lie? Guess you would prefer nobody notices your falsehoods. But then of course people would be fooled into thinking your statements are actually true.

    And it would be hard to imagine anyone thinking that actually calling a demonstrated lie a lie would qualify as a person attack. A link to the rules are at the bottom of the page. You might want to read them.

    not my rule...its theirs. You cant do it period. Hey I had people writing quotes of things I never said and was told I couldnt call them a liar or even say they were lying. If I cant do it neither can you. I have rather lengthy conversations about it. Its why I left PF for a while. I mean Id love for rules to lifted to be able to call you that but I cant. Are you saying youve been routinely allowed to call other members liars or accuse them of lying? Thats going to be interesting if true.

    You can say something is a lie.

    You can't call someone a liar.

    Do you understand the difference?

    That is ridiculous.
    If you say/write a lie, you're a liar.
